I been down on my luck, been down too long this time
I drank up to the bottom 'til I found myself there too
And the taste of defeat has never been so sweet
So I pour 'nother glass and fail again and again

I been down and I been higher than Sears Tower
I asked the higher powers if they could just spare a drink
Did they answer my cries? I was a bit preoccupied
I toasted them, boasted to them the day they met their match

But as long as there is whiskey in the world
We can drink away the harvest, we can drink away the girls
Well, we'll fall in love with an amber touch
As long as there is whiskey in the world

I have loved and I've lost all that they gave me
They all try and save me but I'm seeing this thing through
And these feelings of remorse, they left me no recourse
So I pour 'nother glass and fail again and again

But as long as there is whiskey in the world
We can drink away the harvest, we can drink away the girls
Well, we'll fall in love with an amber touch
As long as there is whiskey in the world

I don't want to be saved

As long as there is whiskey in the world
As long as there is whiskey in the world
As long as there is whiskey, as long as there is whiskey
As long as there is whiskey in the world
